The 5 numbers every academy owner should check every week
You don't need a 40-page report. Five weekly numbers tell you whether your academy is growing, leaking or about to have a problem.
Academy owners are busy. Reports that take an afternoon to build don't get built. But a handful of numbers, checked every week, will tell you almost everything you need to know.
1. Demo-to-enrolment conversion rate
Of the demo classes held this week or month, how many turned into paying families? This is the single best measure of how well your admissions process works. A drop usually means slow follow-up, a mismatched teacher or an unclear next step.
2. Attendance rate and trend
Overall attendance tells you about the health of your classes. The trend — rising or falling over a few weeks — tells you about the future. Falling attendance comes before falling enrolment.
3. Overdue fees
Total amount overdue, and number of families overdue. If this number creeps up, either reminders aren't working or something is wrong with the families' experience.
4. Engagement by class
Which classes have high participation and which are quiet? Engagement is an early warning for both student drop-off and teacher support needs.
5. Teacher performance
Attendance, engagement and conversion of the demos each teacher runs. Not to police them — to see who to learn from and who needs support.
Make it a 10-minute habit
Pick a fixed time each week. Look at the five numbers. Write down one action. That's it. Owners who do this consistently catch problems weeks before they show up in revenue.
The catch: it has to be easy
If any of these numbers needs an export, a spreadsheet and a formula, you won't check it every week. The data has to be live and in one place.
